Dad brought home the @aiDotEngineer Speaker Dinner gift. ChatGPT was great at making Godot games for AI Engineer Kids Day, so I used it on the puzzle.
GPT-5.5 thought 6m18s: “2x3 rectangle.”

Mom stared 1 min: “make a cube.”
Use AI for coding, not thinking 🤣

Amazing AI Engineer Kids Day! 🚀
Kids learned Machine Learning, Claude Code & Codex, then built games like corn mazes 🌽 and banana simulators 🍌 in just a few hours.
So inspiring to see their creativity unlocked with AI. 🧑💻🌈
Thanks @aiDotEngineer, @Neo4j & @catsandtech! 🙌

Great to be back at #JJUGCCC ☕🇯🇵
@steveonjava and I spoke about AI First Programming and rethinking CS education through our AI First book series with @Apress.
📊 I also shared US data on CS grads struggling after ChatGPT, while Japan’s hiring picture seems very different.

I peeked in on Daniel Oh's talk and the room was packed full beyond belief! This might be a result of mentioning him as a great speaker in the keynote yesterday. 😂

It was great speaking at Open Source Summit Japan! At first I wasn't sure how my first lightning talk would go, but actually it had more impact than a regular session. Many people reached out to me with compliments. I hope I inspired parents to try fun technology with their kids.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak at @WeAreDevs Berlin 🇩🇪 last week. I was suprised how many eager developers came to learn about how they can introduce technology to their kids! I also had a book signing for my Raising Young Coders book.

🎙️ It was great speaking with @RafaDelNero about my new Raising Young Coders book with @Apress. 📖 This was the longest deep dive conversation I have ever done (almost 2 hours!) and I hope my teaching advice on kids and tech reaches many Java developers ☕👾
Want to make a difference in tech beyond coding? @cassandraonjava shows how she built her career by teaching children programming. Her path from workshop instructor to author can inspire your next career move! #JavaCareer #TechEducation
